Re: [NTG-context] Mathdesign GD with simplefonts

Thanks, nice scale. How about the arcs and the text between them? Regards, Magnus On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 11:57 AM, Alan BRASLAU wrote:

2. I would like to use the \followtokens macro from within metapost. How can this be achieved? Specifically, I trying to draw a rainbow-like figure with text "between" the colors.

I am not sure what you mean by a rainbow-like figure. However, for rainbow-like colors, I use the following MP code, based on the standard resistance color code scheme. The function rainbow(f) returns a rainbow spectrum color based on the fraction f running from 0 to 1.

% standard resistance color code: rainbow sequence color resistance_color[] ; string resistance_name[] ; resistance_color0 = (0,0,0) ; resistance_name0 = "black" ; resistance_color1 = (165/255,42/255,42/255) ; resistance_name1 = "brown" ; resistance_color2 = (1,0,0) ; resistance_name2 = "red" ; resistance_color3 = (1,165/255,0) ; resistance_name3 = "orange" ; resistance_color4 = (1,1,0) ; resistance_name4 = "yellow" ; resistance_color5 = (0,1,0) ; resistance_name5 = "green" ; resistance_color6 = (0,0,1) ; resistance_name6 = "blue" ; resistance_color7 = (148/255,0,211/255) ; resistance_name7 = "darkviolet" ; resistance_color8 = (190/255,190/255,190/255) ; resistance_name8 = "gray" ; resistance_color9 = (1,1,1) ; resistance_name9 = "white" ;

def rainbow(expr f) = hide(numeric n_ ; n_ = (abs(5f) mod 5) + 2 ;) (n_-floor(n_))[resistance_color[floor n_],resistance_color[ceiling n_]] enddef ;
